@199 It would make sense to me that you had the neuropathy after that many infusions of Gemcitabine/Abraxane. Your symptoms are similar to mine, the duck walk, pain in the feet. I normally have the foot pain in the front of my right foot only at night and bad enough that it wakes me up. One thing that helped a lot was using the licocaine cream that the VA gave me to put on my infusion port before the chemo sessions. I was told I have a very deep port and it does hurt bad when the needle goes in and the lidocaine on there an hr. before I get chemo stopped that pain. I rub the licocaine cream on my right foot and then put a sock over it before going to bed. Thanks for the response and I hope this info gives you some small relief.
